BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
FIG. 1 is a block diagram of an exemplary embodiment of a solar energy controller, together with a rechargeable battery.
FIG. 2 is a circuit diagram of one embodiment of FIG. 1.
 DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, an exemplary embodiment of a solar energy controller 10 is used to charge a rechargeable battery 20. The solar energy controller 10 includes a charging control unit 12, a switch control unit 14, and a comparing unit 16.
The charging control unit 12 includes a charge pin CH, a charging control pin CO, a detect pin DE, a first selecting pin CS1, and a second selecting pin CS2.
The switch control unit 14 includes a first electrical switch, such as a field effect transistor (FET) Q1, a second electrical switch, such as a FET Q2, a first resistor R1, and a second resistor R2. A source of the FET Q1 is connected to the charge pin CH of the charging control unit 12. A gate of the FET Q1 is connected to the charging control pin CO. A drain of the FET Q1 is connected to a positive terminal of the rechargeable battery 20. A source of the FET Q2 is connected to ground via the first resistor R1 and the second resistor R2 in series. A gate of the FET Q2 is connected to the detecting pin DE of the charging control unit 12. A drain of the FET Q2 is connected to the positive terminal of the rechargeable battery 20. A negative terminal of the rechargeable battery 20 is grounded. In other embodiments, the FETs Q1 and Q2 can be replaced by other electrical switches, such as relays.
The comparing unit 16 includes a first comparator OP1, a second comparator OP2, a third comparator OP3, and a trigger U. Non-inverting terminals of the first to third comparators OP1-OP3 are connected to a node between the first resistor R1 and the second resistor R2, for receiving a detect voltage VDE, where VDE=VBA*R2/(R1+R2), and VBA is a charge voltage of the rechargeable battery 20. An inverting terminal of the first comparator OP1 is connected to a first reference voltage VREF1. An inverting terminal of the second comparator OP2 is connected to a second reference voltage VREF2. An inverting terminal of the third comparator OP3 is connected to a third reference voltage VREF3. An output terminal of the first comparator OP1 is connected to the first selecting pin CS1 of the charging control unit 12 and a triggering pin S of the trigger U. An output terminal of the second comparator OP2 is connected to a first input pin Q′ of the trigger U. An output terminal of the third comparator OP3 is connected to a second input pin Q of the trigger U. An output pin D of the trigger U is connected to the second selecting pin CS2 of the charging control unit 12.
In one embodiment, the charging control unit 12 includes four charging modes, to correspondingly supply four charge voltages, such as a 12 volts (V) charge voltage, a 24 V charge voltage, a 36 V charge voltage, and a 48 V charge voltage. In one embodiment, a relationship of the first to third reference voltages VREF1-VREF3 may be about: VREF2<VREF1<VREF3, and VREF1=26 V*R2/(R1+R2), VREF2=14 V*R2/(R1+R2), VREF3=38 V*R2/(R1+R2). In other words, 12 V<[VREF2*(R1+R2)/R2=14 V]<24 V<[VREF1*(R1+R2)/R2=26 V]<36 V<[VREF3*(R1+R2)/R2=38 V]<48 V. In other embodiments, the number of the charging modes of the charging control unit 12 and the voltage values supplied by the charging control unit 12 can be adjusted according to requirements. The number of the comparators and the voltage values of the reference voltages can be adjusted corresponding to the charging modes of the charging control unit 12 and the voltage values supplied by the charging control unit 12.
In use, the charging control unit 12 outputs a break control signal, such as a 0V low voltage signal, via the charging control pin CO to turn off the FET Q1. Therefore, the rechargeable battery 20 cannot be charged. The charging control unit 12 outputs a voltage detecting signal, such as a 5 V high voltage signal, via the detect pin DE to turn on the FET Q2. The switch control unit 14 outputs the detect voltage VDE of the node between the first resistor R1 and the second resistor R2. The comparing unit 16 detects the detected voltage VDE of the node between the first resistor R1 and the second resistor R2.
If VDE>VREF1, the first comparator OP1 outputs a high voltage signal to the first selecting pin CS1 of the charging control unit 12 and the trigger pin S of the trigger U, and the output pin D of the trigger U outputs a first signal from the second input pin Q of the trigger U to the second selecting pin CS2 of the charging control unit 12. If VDE<VREF1, the first comparator OP1 outputs a low voltage signal to the first selecting pin CS1 of the charging control unit 12 and the triggering pin S of the trigger U, and the output pin D of the trigger U outputs a second signal from the first input pin Q′ of the trigger U to the second selecting pin CS2 of the charging control unit 12.
When the triggering pin S of the trigger U is at a high voltage status, and VDE>VREF3, which means the charge voltage VBA of the rechargeable battery 20 is about 48 V, the third comparator OP3 outputs a high voltage signal. Therefore, the second selecting pin CS2 of the charging control unit 12 is at a high voltage status. When the triggering pin S of the trigger U is at a high voltage status, and VDE<VREF3, which means the charge voltage VBA of the rechargeable battery 20 is about 36 V, the third comparator OP3 outputs a low voltage signal. Therefore, the second selecting pin CS2 of the charging control unit 12 is at a low voltage status.
When the triggering pin S of the trigger U is at a low voltage status, and VDE>VREF2, which means the charge voltage VBA of the rechargeable battery 20 is about 24 V, the second comparator OP2 outputs a high voltage signal. Therefore, the second selecting pin CS2 of the charging control unit 12 is at a high voltage status. When the triggering pin S of the trigger U is at a low voltage status, and VDE<VREF2, which means the charge voltage VBA of the rechargeable battery 20 is about 12 V, the second comparator OP2 outputs a low voltage signal. Therefore, the second selecting pin CS2 of the charging control unit 12 is at a low voltage status.
The first selecting pin CS1 and the second selecting pin CS2 of the charging control unit 12 and the charge voltage VBA of the rechargeable battery 20 may satisfy the following relationships.
CS1 at high
voltage status CS1 at low voltage status
CS2 at high voltage status VBA = 48 V VBA = 24 V
CS2 at low voltage status VBA = 36 V VBA = 12 V
The charging control unit 12 determines the charge voltage VBA of the rechargeable battery 20 according to the above table, and then set a corresponding charging mode to output a corresponding charge voltage corresponding the charge voltage VBA of the rechargeable battery 20. After the corresponding charging mode is set, the charging control unit 12 outputs a charge control signal, such as a 5 V low voltage signal, via the charging control pin CO to turn on the FET Q1, therefore the rechargeable battery 20 can be charged by the charging control unit 12 via the charge pin CH of the charging control unit 12.
The solar energy controller 10 can automatically detect the charge voltage VBA of the rechargeable battery 20 and then output a corresponding charge voltage to charge the rechargeable battery 20, which is very convenient.
It is to be understood, however, that even though numerous characteristics and advantages of the present disclosure have been set forth in the foregoing description, together with details of the structure and function of the disclosure, the disclosure is illustrative only, and changes may be made in details, especially in matters of shape, size, and arrangement of parts within the principles of the disclosure to the full extent indicated by the broad general meaning of the terms in which the appended claims are expressed.
